Updated at 6:20 p.m. EDT: Baltimore Orioles announce game has been postponed

Amid the violent protests that erupted Monday afternoon in Baltimore, the Orioles announced that Monday night’s game against the Chicago White Sox has been postponed.

The decision, made after consultation with the Baltimore City Police Department, came less than an hour before the game was slated to be played. Fans arriving at the game were met with extra security and could only enter through Gate H and Home Plate Plaza.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, who was at Camden Yards for a planned visit, said “it’s possible these games could be played elsewhere.”

If the decision had been a White Sox decision, it would have been racist.

The Mayor of Baltimore just declared a citywide curfew from 10 pm to 5 am for those over 14 years old, and 9 pm to 5 am for those under 14.

if they move the games, maybe to Penn or Virginia, its all good isn't it?...Baltimore loses a ton of money I hope...their govt...their businesses...their media....

allowing people space the time to destroy the city has its consequences...

“the most heartbreaking thins is Obama is loving this.”

Yes. And doesn’t the entire progressive left love this?

MLB should declare the game a forfeit. MLB rules state that the home team has a duty to provide a safe playing environment which includes the grounds be in playable condition and that player and fan safety along with order is maintained.

no, scratch that. female folk in my family babbling something about cops not being angels being responsible for this riot is the most heartbreaking thing I heard tonight.

Baltimore has the same problem that every other city run by liberal democrats has. The left is the root cause of dependence, broken families and the resulting thuggery.

That is right, no questions asked...and if has to be played at another park, make it the visiting teams park with NO money going to the O’s.

Also, if the team is ‘leasing’ the Stadium from the city, no pay for the games not played.

Then mass arrests of the hoodlums, with fines showing the money lost.... Screw with commerce, pay for it. Burn down your neighborhood, live in tents, may take a few years but we may get around to it. You don’t like it? Move.

Hear all the ‘officials’ wringing their hands ‘what to do?’, ‘what to do’? we all know gun ships would be very effective but realistically, Bull Connor and Co proved high pressure firehoses work and those that were recipients of same still remember how effective they were.

That idiot Mayor, announcing ‘we have to give them some space’ should be arrested (along with BO & Holder) for inciting to riot.

So far, 15 officers have been injured, and two are still being treated. FUBO

yep. I cant believe I have to prepare a list of all the times whites could have rioted in response to cops killing a white or blacks killing or maiming a white.
yeah, a lot of cops suck. But what’s with a growing number of freepers thinking what happened in any way justifies this response? Disappointed a little.

Property values in Baltimore will plummet taking revenue with them and it will come as the city needs to find a way to replace police cars, firehoses and anything else the animals are destroying.
